Chapter Seven – The Interview

Audrey sits nervously near the entrance of Kerry Weaver's office. She is quite nervous but at the same time she can't help but to think of yesterday, of how she seemed to fit right in into the staff how nice the two other attending she met seemed. She also had her mind on the young doctor who seemed too young, she was somehow fascinated by him, and there was Dr Carter of course who she tough was amazing, he was everything she looked for in a friend, too bad he seemed to had a leftover of love for Abby. Kerry calls Audrey into the office; Audrey gets up looks around the room at the other doctors who seem to also be here for the same reason and walks to the door. Kerry asks various questions on Audrey background, her schooling at McGill, her experience, her thesis, she is very nice but she seems also quite tough.

"You have been offered attending at the CHUM I see, so why are you risking applying somewhere else when you already hold a steady position?"

"I have family here, my niece who I raised nearly as my little sister has been living here and since the passing of my parents she's the closest family member I have. I wanted to come closer to her…"

Kerry smiles slightly, its sweet how this young doctor is taking care of her family. She continues asking questions as she skims through Audrey's professional records. She pulls out a small pink slip of paper and begins reading it carefully, on the slip we can see a cross logo inscribed CGH.

"So, you were our mystery doctor yesterday…"She doesn't have the time to finish her sentence as Audrey interrupts nervously

"I arrived as a patient as your ER yesterday, and when I saw what was going on I offered my help to Dr John Carter" She Pauses " I was under his supervision the entire time and I…" Its Kerry's turn to interrupt. Audrey seems more nervous than at the beginning, she's afraid that Kerry will get mad and tell her it was against policy and she'd get in trouble.

"Don't worry, what you did was fine, it was a little risky since you were not under hospital insurance but your glad was quite beneficial if I take it from the comments I got from Dr Kovac and Dr Carter. I also heard what you did for a young girl, and I was impressed." Audrey is so surprised, she was expecting to have to defend herself.

"Humm, Thank you… Its something I see quite a lot in Montreal, people seem to enjoy breaking window with body parts" They both giggle slightly.

Kerry pauses for a second, she makes sure she has gone through everything.

"Thank you for your time Dr Parker. I have many candidates, and although none have proved themselves like you have, many have more experience than you. I will take up to a month to make my decision and get back to you as soon as I do."

Audrey thanks Kerry and leaves. She seems disappointed, and sad, she was sure she would get the position but for now it is clear to her she doesn't have enough experience. She walks out of the hospital hoping not to run into John. As she's almost out the door she hears her name. Damn I was almost out the door she mumbles to herself.

"So! How did it go!"

"Hmm I'm not sure, I wont have an answer for a while, but I better go now. I got a plane to catch"

"What? You were supposed to stay until next week! Stay, we'll order pizza and you can meet the ER staff, even that young doctor from yesterday"He winks to her

"No thanks. I really have to go home. I have to get back home before It's too late to accept the attending position in Montreal" Before Carter can reply she's out the ER door.
